Katelyn Dawson, 15, died after a car crashed into a bus stop in Huddersfield

The teen's heartbroken family have now released a statement saying: "We are devastated at the loss of our beautiful Katelyn and it is no exaggeration to say words cannot describe the pain we are all feeling.

"We want to thank those who have shown such love and support at this awful time and now ask that we are given some privacy to grieve as we try to come to terms with the magnitude of our loss."

The 15-year-old girl was airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries but sadly passed away

Huddersfield Town's commercial director Sean Jarvis said Katelyn's death will be marked at the club's Premier League clash with West Ham on Saturday.

In a Facebook post he said: "Please get involved in the 15th minute applause on Saturday for the tragic accident that took the life of a young girl (and leaves 2 in a critical condition) and has shocked our community.

"Please share and spread the word.

"We will put a picture of her on the big screen on the 15th minute.

"Terriers let's show our respect."

More than 250 people have raised over £4,000 in less than 24 hours to pay for the teenager's funeral.
